Not questioning the action but this is open invitation for China to take back Taiwan. It's happening. Wonder if India will try it's chances with Pakistan and Bangladesh.

If anything, this showed China that our military is still light years ahead of everyone else on earth, and they shouldn't F with us or Taiwan.

That is an interesting correlation. I am eager to read your reasoning and defense of that statement.

When did Venezuela move next door to the US, allowing us to invade and conquer them?

It’s actually the opposite…. It’s a message to China that we are still the big dog on the block…..at least while Trump is in office…..

I really hate commenting on the Poli board. I read it all the time and I appreciate everyone that contributes to it in a meaningful way.

But I can't stand people that don't know history. Stop being ignorant.

What do you mean by "China to take back Taiwan"?

Read a history book or search on the internet. Communist China never had control of Taiwan. When the communists took over the Republic of China retreated to Taiwan and have kept it ever since.

Educate yourself before you post. Do the board a favor and rid us of your ignorance.

We could easily halt most imports to China. China is dependent on food imports and coal imports. They aren't going to do anything with Taiwan while Trump is POTUS.

China is biding their time. Why start a fight with the US under a strong leader when they can wait until the Dems are in charge and start filling our military with trannies.

If China tried to take Taiwan, it would effectively end Xi's tenure and he knows it. The coast of Taiwan is more than 100 miles from mainland China. An amphibious assault on Taiwan which is a largely mountainous and densely populated with cities, would be nearly impossible not to mention Taiwan is armed to the teeth with the most advanced weapons and a huge army of their own. China attacking Tawain would be a monumentally stupid move by Xi.

It was.

But before that the USreali annihilation of Gaza and bombing of Iran "facility" were THE "signal".

And imo, terribly frivolous, unnecessary precedents for MIC actions. (as is par for the course)

So now what's the frequency Kenneth?

Xi said as much in his latest speech. Said the world is in a reunification phase.

The US rules the world because of her Navy. Not Delta Force, not the USAF, not the SEALS, not the Rangers.

Until the Chinese can match our Naval power our homeland has nothing to worry about from anyone.

Would we intervene if china tried to take key west? Taiwan has always been considered part of china, regardless of what the people of Taiwan think. We should mind our own business.

By the way, before you Taiwan fans think we should intervene, that govt, the original china during world war 2, sold bonds worth close to a trillion dollars to US citizens at the behest of FDR. They have never repaid a cent.
